A Dozen "SchoOlmarms' Could Have Entered

Dozen "Sch00lmarms" Could Have Entered
Richmond.
Comrade Morey wrote a very readable sketch
Of the capture of Fort Harrison. Any one who
knew the 9Sth n. Y. would not attempt TO dis
parage that regiment, but il does seem as If he
(Comrade Morey) drew the story until il was
slightly attennated in regard 10 quality. Other
troops were within sound beside the regiments
he mentions. The writer of this was in the
Second Brigade Second Division, just back in a
good safe place on open ground, though not so
far but that a shell from the 100 FOUNDER in
the corner of the fort nearest the road passed
through my regiment diagonally, managing a
soldier SO that he died in few moments, half
q dozen files in my rear.
But does Comrade Morey really mean that he
and others turned round one of those traverse
guns and obliterated regiment Of Johnnies?
We were near enough 10 hear the charging
yclls and the crashing aud rafting OF the artil-
lery and musketry fire which accompany such
scenes. A few moments later my Colonel,
George nj. Guion, now Of Seneca Falls. n. Y,
sent me 10 the fort TO order some OF our regi-
ment who had gone as 1anllers Of the charging
brigade TO rejoin the regiment Hurying ON
my errand, was soon at the fort. and saw the
ditch outside thickly strewn with the dead,
aud the big gun in the corner having been de-
pressed so much TO reach the storming party OF
troops that the recoil had lifted the traverse of
the pivot on which il was turned, and traverse,
carriage and gun lay tilted on the edge Of the
platform. Two other heavy guns still looked
grimly down the road 10y which we had APP
preached the fort. Now will the comrade
kindly inform us which of those siege guns he
turned 10 the rear in order TO demolish those
Johnnies?
Some Of us also would like to know If the re-
doubt he speaks Of was in the continuation Of
! the line Of which Fort Harrison formed a part
1 or in the left rear Of Fort Harrison. Ifhe means
in the continuation, all right; if the other. it
was the one known as Fort Gilmer, which was
the scene Of a bitter repulse about three hours
later and was held by the Johnnies until evac-
uated by them the Sd of April following.
Comrade Morey says his regiments flag was
the first on the Capitol in Richmond. That
may be SOL wont dispute il; but a little illus
tration will perhaps not be out Of place. A
visitor at Niagara Falls, soliloquizing: " How
impressive! grand majestic!"
